I've been here for less than 3 months and have discovered that I have absolutely no idea as to how to tell the QA people how to test my stuff. There are no standardized tests at all.

The system is poorly designed and cannot be changed quickly. Hence, we can only work with external tests. Plus, I'd prefer external testing, anyways.

We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
